The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Private First Class Harold G. Sellers (ASN: RA-14425545), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action as a member of the Medical Company, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action on 26 October 1952 in the vicinity of Chorwon, North Korea. On that date, Private Sellers, a Medical Aidman attached to Company I, 9th Infantry Regiment, was accompanying a rescue patrol into enemy territory to bring back wounded members of a friendly patrol. The area in which the wounded men were lost was a mine field, and Private Sellers, with complete disregard for personal safety, moved into the hazardous area in an attempt to bring out the wounded men. As he made his way through the area, he stepped upon a mine, detonating it and receiving mortal wounds. Private Sellers exhibited extreme courage and bravery above and beyond the call of duty as he made the supreme sacrifice in an effort to accomplish his deeds of mercy in the rescue of the wounded. The gallantry in action displayed by Private Sellers reflects great credit upon himself and is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
